Why convert MD to TXT?
Stripping Markdown down to plain text is useful for pasting into places that don't render formatting — plain-text emails, some form fields, or a quick word count without the # and ** clutter.
MD vs TXT at a glance
MD is the developer's writing format — plain text with simple syntax that renders as formatted HTML, used everywhere from GitHub to documentation sites. TXT is the simplest document format — just characters, no formatting, readable by every application on every platform since the dawn of computing.

MD to TXT — frequently asked questions
Is this MD to TXT converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no daily limits.
Are headings and formatting removed completely?
The Markdown syntax characters (#, **, -) are stripped from the visible text, but LibreOffice's plain-text export doesn't reflow headings into a different style — the underlying words remain, just without their Markdown markup.
Is the conversion private?
Your Markdown file is sent to our servers, converted, and the result is returned to you. Your file is deleted immediately after conversion and never stored.
